The lights in the room were still warm, and the pan was covered with pancakes, and each other ate some.

They talked, feeling the night pass outside. The topics were varied, but most avoided places that could be scars, such as Cheng Min's "work" in the capital, such as Lu Mingfang.

Tang Minjie told Cheng Min about some of his life in Liangshan in the southwest, when the Huaxia army had withdrawn to the southwest, and the news of Mr. Ning's death came out again, and the situation was quite embarrassing, including dealing with various people near Liangshan, they were also trembling, and the Huaxia army was almost forced to split. In those most difficult times, people relied on will and hatred to take root in those reckless mountains, opening up woodlands, building houses, and building roads......

“…… The mountains in the southwest, after looking at them for a long time, are actually quite interesting...... At first, I couldn't eat enough, and I didn't have much mood to look at it, because there were deep mountains and old forests, and there were many snakes, insects, rats and ants, and I only felt annoyed when I saw it. But then I was able to catch my breath, and I liked to stay in the watchtower on the mountain, and there were trees as far as I could see, but there were countless things hidden in it, sunny days, rainy days...... Nature is magnificent and ever-changing. Others say that the benevolent man enjoys the mountain, and the wise man enjoys the water, because the mountain remains unchanged and the water changes, in fact, the mountains in the southwest are really changing...... There are also many fruits in the mountains, and only I have eaten ......."

Cheng Min is a native of the Central Plains, and was taken captive to the north when she was a girl, and has never seen the mountains in the southwest or the water in the south of the Yangtze River. The night waiting for change seemed long, so she asked Tang Minjie about these things, Tang Minjie said in a scattered manner, she also listened with great interest, and she didn't know if she was so curious when facing Lu Mingfang.

Sometimes she also asked about Ning Yi: "Have you seen that Mr. Ning?" ”

Tang Minjie shook his head: "I haven't seen it." ”

"No, that's a shame." Cheng Min said, "If I defeat the Jurchens in the future, if I can go south, I want to go to the southwest to meet him." He's amazing. ”

"What did Old Lu tell you?"

Cheng Min nodded: "He told me some things about Mr. Ning back then, such as taking a few people to kill 50,000 people in Liangshan, which was later called a demon." and his martial arts are strong, and the people on the rivers and lakes are terrified when they hear his name. Recently, I sometimes think that if Mr. Ning had come here, he would not have been helpless in this situation. ”

Tang Minjie smiled slightly: "Mr. Ning also brought dozens of people with him when he went to Liangshan, and he had already prepared internal responses before he went. In addition, Mr. Ning's martial arts ......"

He paused for a moment, Cheng Min turned his head to look at him, and then heard him say, "...... Legend has it that it is indeed very high. ”

"So, if Mr. Ning comes here, maybe he can secretly make a move and slaughter those puppies one by one." Cheng Min waved his hand like a knife, "Lao Lu also said before that it was a pity that Zhou Yingying died, if he joined our side and secretly came to the north to arrange the assassination by us, those people in the Jin Kingdom would have died almost." ”

Although Cheng Min grew up in the Central Plains and has lived in Beijing for so many years, and in a state where she doesn't need to disguise herself too much, her inner habits are actually a little close to that of a Northland woman.

At this time, after midnight, the two of them were talking, and their spirits had been paying attention to the movement outside, and after a few words, suddenly the night outside shook, and I don't know who suddenly fired a cannon in the extreme distance, and the sound passed through the low sky and spread throughout Shangjing.

Tang Minjie and Cheng Min got up abruptly and rushed out the door.

"It's going to be a fight......"

Tang Minjie muttered, his face looked a little ruddy, Cheng Min grabbed his tattered sleeves and shook it twice: "Something is going to happen, something is going to happen......"

They stood in the courtyard and looked at the dark night sky, and the already quiet night around them gradually became agitated, and I don't know how many people were awakened from the night by lighting the lamps. It was as if someone had thrown a pebble down in a calm pond, and the waves were pushing away.

"Wrap up the rest of the pancakes, if the army enters the city and starts burning, something may happen......"

"The best result is that the eastern and western prefectures will directly start to kill each other, even if it is a little closer, Zong Gan and Zong Pan will fight head-on, and the Jin Kingdom will have a big mess......"

"Although it is a civil strife, it is unlikely that it will be burned and looted directly in the entire Shangjing City, and I am afraid that it will not be controlled tonight...... You don't have to run away......"

Tang Minjie chattered and talked about various possibilities, returned to the room and went out to the courtyard outside, although he had chilblains on his body, he didn't feel any cold at this time, and when Cheng Min pulled the door, he said, "You go out and put on your hat and calm down." His mood calmed down a little.

I still couldn't help but say: "Do you know that as long as there is infighting between the eastern and western provinces of the Jin Kingdom, the day when our Huaxia army will destroy Dajin will be at least five years earlier." Tens of thousands of deaths can be avoided...... Or even hundreds of thousands of people. At this time, he couldn't hold it down, haha......"

He smiled suppressedly and briefly, and it looked a little weird in the light. Cheng Min looked at him. After a while, Tang Minjie took a deep breath and gradually returned to normal. It's just that not long after, listening to the movement outside, I still muttered: "It's time to fight, let's fight......

"It's time for a fight." Cheng Min poured water for him and echoed it.

……

The light of hope seemed to be hidden in the thick clouds, and it suddenly bloomed for a moment, but then it was slowly buried deep.

The cannon shot in the middle of the night did cause a small commotion in the city, and in some places there may have even been a tragedy. But I don't know why, as time progressed, the riots that should have continued to expand did not continue to expand, and the ugliness was more than halfway there, and even gradually subsided and disappeared invisibly.

Without tangible information, Tang Minjie and Cheng Min couldn't analyze what happened this night, the night was quiet, and when the day was about to dawn, there were no more changes, and the martial law in the market didn't know when it was lifted, Cheng Min went out to check for a while, and the only thing that could be determined was that last night's slaughter had completely calmed down.

Why is there such a cannon sound? Why is it that after such a cannon sound, the two sides have not yet fought, what is going on behind the scenes? It is impossible to know now.

"I'll go back to the building to inquire about the situation, and everyone will definitely talk about such a big incident last night. If there is a very urgent situation, I will come here tonight, and if you are not there, I will leave a note. If the situation is not urgent, our next meeting will be scheduled for tomorrow morning...... I'm better to come out in the morning. ”

Cheng Min said so, and then said: "Actually, if you can trust me, you can also stay here these days, and it will be convenient for me to come and find you." Shangjing is not strict with the Black Flag spies, this house should still be safe, maybe better than you secretly find someone to rent a place. Your hands and feet can't stand the cold. ”

As she spoke, she took out the key from her body and put it on the table, Tang Minjie accepted the key and nodded. As Cheng Min said before, if she voted for the Jurchens, she should have been arrested now, although there are some people in the Jin who can calm down, but they will not sink to this extent, relying on a woman to ask her about things.

"I'll stay here for a few days, you'll be there...... Come at your own pace, protect yourself, and don't attract suspicion. ”

Cheng Min nodded and left.

Tang Minjie also walked to the street to observe the surrounding scene, the tension of last night must have affected everyone in the city, but only from their words, there were no clues. After walking for a while, it began to snow again in the sky, and the white snowflakes covered everything in his vision like a mist, Tang Minjie knew that the Jin people must be experiencing earth-shaking things inside, but he couldn't think about all this.

It is also possible to wake up another intelligence officer and go to the black market to spend money to find out the situation, but the current situation may be faster than the news that is not sensitive. Especially in the absence of an operational team, even if he knows the information, it is impossible for him to act on his own to shake the balance of the entire situation.

This day was October 22 of the first year of Wu Zhenxing and the fifteenth year of Jintianhui, perhaps because he did not find out the key information, Cheng Min did not come over all night.

The next day was October 23, and in the early morning, Tang Minjie heard the sound of cannons.

This time it was not the sound of the cannons of the conflict, a regular cannon sound shook the dawn sky like a drum, and when the door was opened, the heavy snow was still falling outside, but the festive atmosphere gradually began to appear. He walked on the streets of Shangjing for a short time, and he was in the crowd and understood the whole thing.

Just yesterday afternoon, after the heads of the various branches of the Dajin Wanyan clan and Zhu Bo Jilie discussed in the palace, Wanyan Kang, who was the son of Wanyan Zongjun and the adopted son of Wanyan Zonggan, was finally elected as the third emperor of the Dajin Kingdom and ruled the world. The year name of the year of Lika is: Heavenly Family.

Tang Minjie listened silently to the speaker's reading of this matter in the wind and snow, and countless Jin people cheered in the wind and snow. The matter of the three princes seizing the throne has also been bothering them for many days, and the coming to power of Yan Yan means that the princes and marshals who are the pillars of the Jin country do not have to fight for me, and the new emperor will not carry out large-scale liquidation after succeeding to the throne. The prosperity of the Jin country can be expected, and the whole world celebrates.

That night, Cheng Min still didn't come over. When she came to this small courtyard, it was already early morning on the twenty-fourth, her expression was tired, and there were bruises on her face that had been beaten, and when Tang Minjie noticed it, she shook her head slightly.

"Those brutes drank too much last night and had a bit of a rough time. But thanks to them, everything has been clarified. ”

Tang Minjie handed over a bottle of ointment, Cheng Min looked at it and waved his hand: "How can a woman's face use this kind of thing, I have a better one." Then she began to tell what she had heard.

After Yan Yan succeeded to the throne, there was a noisy carnival in the capital for almost a whole night, and a group of nobles who went to Cheng Min's side took out the inside story in the middle and publicized it, almost going to the bottom. The whole situation in Shangjing in the past six months, there is the layout of the first monarch Wu begging, and then there is the control of Zong Han and Xi Yin, on the night of the 22nd, it was Zong Han Xi Yin who personally lobbied all parties and suggested that the younger generation of Wan Yan should be the king, so as to break the impasse in Shangjing that may be bloody at any time.

Zong Gan and Zong Pan were naturally reluctant at first, but the various nobles standing on both sides had already acted. This power struggle started because of Zong Gan and Zong Pan, and there was no way to escape a big fight, who knew that Zong Han and Gu Shen were scheming, turning their hands into clouds and covering their hands for rain, and they solved such a huge problem between raising their hands, and from then on, the whole Jin country could temporarily put aside their grievances and contribute to the country in unison. When a group of young nobles talked about this, they simply worshipped Zong Han and Xi Yin as immortals.

At the same time, they also invariably felt that such powerful characters had returned from the battle in the southwest, and the black flag in the south might be as terrible as the two described, and sooner or later it would become a big trouble for the Jin country. So a group of young people drank and carnivaled in the green building, and shouted words such as defeating the black flag and killing all the Han people in the future. The "black flag threat theory" brought by Zong Han and Xi Yin seems to have been put into practice.

“…… What was the cannon that night? Tang Minjie asked.

"It is rumored that Zong Han taught people to set off a cannon outside the city, deliberately causing a commotion." Cheng Min said, "Then force all parties to make concessions and make peace." ”

Tang Minjie sat quietly on the stool in the room. That night, seeing that the Jin Kingdom was going to be in chaos, he looked excited and couldn't suppress his emotions, and at this moment, the look in his eyes was cold, his eyes turned, and countless thoughts jumped in it.

"My enemy, the hero of my enemy." Cheng Min looked at him, "Is there anything else to do now?" ”

Tang Minjie looked at him calmly, and only spoke after a long time, his voice a little dry:

“…… Without. ”
